April 29th 1878
Dear Farther
[Father]I am on my way home from
Washington I got out of my trouble with the Inspectors and have managed
to get the mail by the 15th of May, however I want this kept a profound
secret as I want to take Old Bell by surprise, he has treated me meaner
than I thought one human could treat another I will be home about the
27th of May. My love to all, tell Mollie to write I am anxious to hear
from home. Your son
W.F.A.
